## AI summary

Explains how the nimo agent uses audit data, site history, uptime, page inspection, saved persona and focus preferences, web tools, and connected integrations to answer performance questions.

## Key points

- nimo chat can use audit data, history, uptime status, page inspection, preferences, and connected integrations.
- Settings can persist persona and focus areas so chat answers match the user's role and priorities.
- Ask one focused question at a time.
- Good prompts ask what changed, what to review first, or whether a fix worked.

## Sections

### What nimo knows

- nimo can use the latest audit and report, audit history, uptime status, page inspection, web tools, saved preferences, and connected Google, Ahrefs, Cloudflare, and MCP integrations.

### Good questions to ask

- Ask nimo to make a decision, explain a change, or choose the next fix.
- Good prompts: What should I fix first if I only have one hour? Explain the LCP issue like I am sending it to a developer. Did the last deployment make this page faster or slower?

### Set persona and focus

- Use the AI tab in Settings to save the role and priorities nimo should assume when it answers.
- Persona is a short role label, such as developer or marketer.
- Focus areas are the performance topics you care about most, such as Core Web Vitals, checkout conversion, mobile UX, or client reporting.
- These preferences shape chat context. They do not replace report evidence, site history, or source labels.

### Run work from chat

- Depending on setup, nimo can trigger audits, inspect a page, check uptime, compare audits, and suggest Cloudflare optimizations.
- For Cloudflare, chat can inspect settings, suggest changes, and save approval history. Apply and rollback require a signed-in user, explicit approval, safe actions enabled for the account, and the web apply flow; public chat cannot change Cloudflare settings.
- When an active performance incident exists, chat can explain the stored incident evidence and the likely next owner.
- Linear issue creation and recovery verification require explicit ticket or verification intent, a connected Linear workspace, and the relevant feature gates.
- Chat is most useful after an audit because the report gives nimo evidence and avoids generic advice.

### Keep conversations useful

- Ask one question at a time.
- Name the page or site if you manage several.
- Ask for the reason behind each recommendation.
- Ask for a smaller next step when an answer feels too broad.
